Baby blues

Evening peeps, back for a second post of the day. Starting to get the hang of this now ....lol... I have been making the most of my last day off as I go back to work tomorrow. All the Christmas decorations have been taken down and a quick tidy up has been done.

I have been a tidy crafter in 2013 - see how long that lasts. Yesterday I sorted out all my ribbons instead of them all being tangled together in a poly bag ... Lol. ..... and today I have sorted out all my scrap paper into colours, put my paperbacks away in drawers and my crafters magazines have been moved into the cupboard under the stairs.

This image is from High Hopes coloured with my paints. The background paper is from a Forever Friends paperback.  Tools used are Square Nesties, Swiss Dots & Divine Swirls embossing folders, Sizzix teddy & duck paddle punches decorated with Liquid Pearls.  From my other  stash I used blue wording peel offs and Cardcandi.   The challenges covered with this card are:-

• High Hopes  -  Anything Goes
• Stampavie & more. -  Blue & White
• Sketch & Stash. -  Stash

Here we go again .....

Happy New Year everyone, hope 2013 brings you all good health and happiness.

Take two with the iPad, my IT guru friend Lesley (aka Pinkles Dreams) thinks she has mastered the art of posting - if it goes belly up, blame her! ... Lol ... Only kidding.

My New Years resolution is to try and use up some of my craft stash without buying new (I can hear you all laughing and saying "as if that's gonna happen" lol... And I can't see if myself either) and also to try new techniques out as I also seem to keep in my own comfort zone.

So with that in mind, I pulled out a set of 3D stickers I got out of Poundland and my Cardcandi box, stash of free papers out of crafty magazines and I had a wee play at my table. I ended up making two or three of these cards, just with different sentiments. The challenges I shall cover with this card are:-

• ABC Challenges. -  'E' - embossing
• Charisma Cardz. -  Anything Goes
• Cute Card Thursday. -  Anything Goes
